August Orientation

Welcome and congratulations on your acceptance to Miami University! To help you become acquainted with your new community, we invite you to participate in the August orientation program.

At August orientation, you will:

Be introduced to academics at Miami.

Receive academic advising and register for fall semester classes.

Meet other new and current students.

Learn about campus resources.

And much more!

In mid-July, new transfer students, as well as first year students who did not attend Summer orientation in June, will be contacted via email with an invitation to register to attend August orientation. Program details are also available on this website; an official invitation is not required in order to register for August orientation.

To assist families in transition and to help support students, we offer a family program during August orientation. The academic advising and registration portion of the program is limited to students only.

Orientation and Transition Programs

The Office of Orientation and Transition Programs assists new first year and transfer students and their parents and family members in transitioning to Miami University. We coordinate new student orientation and welcome events, facilitate first year and transfer transition courses, and serve as a central resource for those new to the Miami community.
